Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How does freeze-drying preserve nutrients compared to traditional kibble processing?

Ans: Freeze-drying removes water at low temperatures, preserving vitamins and enzymes. Kibble uses high-heat destroying nutrients; freeze-drying maintains bioavailability without degradation.

Q2: Why is the New Zealand green mussel beneficial for senior dog joint health?

Ans: Contains natural glucosamine, chondroitin, and omega-3s supporting cartilage regeneration. Studies show significant mobility improvement in senior dogs within six weeks.

Q3: Can I feed this to senior dogs with kidney disease?

Ans: Consult your veterinarian first. High protein may stress kidney conditions; therapeutic diets require veterinary formulation specifically for kidney disease management.

Q4: How long should I gradually introduce this food to my senior dog?

Ans: Transition over 7-10 days, mixing increasing amounts with current food. Senior dogs are sensitive; gradual introduction prevents digestive upset and system adjustment.

Q5: Does freeze-dried food carry the same food safety risks as raw diets?

Ans: Freeze-drying does not eliminate all pathogens; handle it like raw meat. Wash hands and surfaces thoroughly; store sealed away from other foods.

Q6: How does high protein content benefit aging senior dogs specifically?

Ans: Senior dogs need 50% more protein than adults, preventing muscle wasting. High-quality protein supports mobility, strength, and overall longevity significantly.

Q7: Is this formula suitable for senior dogs with digestive sensitivities?

Ans: Yes, preserves digestive enzymes and natural probiotics, improving nutrient absorption. Zero artificial additives reduce inflammatory triggers in aging digestive systems.

Q8: Can I mix this freeze-dried food with my senior dog's current kibble?

Ans: Yes, use as a meal topper or mixer with reduced kibble portions. Separate kibble and freeze-dried food to prevent stomach upset in sensitive seniors.

Q9: How does this formula support cognitive function in aging senior dogs?

Ans: Omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants from salmon and berries support neurological health. Research shows these nutrients maintain mental sharpness in seniors.
